This exegetical and theological study argues that within the Deuteronomistic History the number of imprecisely fulfilled prophetic predictions increase dramatically as the historian’s account moves into the divided monarchy.
Reviews
“Camp does what past studies have failed to do. He gives a comprehensive survey and discussion of fulfilled, partially fulfilled, and unfulfilled prophecies featured in Joshua-2 Kings. The result is a striking spectrum of prophetic fulfillments, from the precise to the discrepant.”
-Prof. William Brown,
Columbia Theological Seminary
“…this very reader friendly, critical literary perspective, will be welcomed by a broader audience than a more source or redaction critical approach…this book should attract the attention of evangelical scholarship and conservative readers.”
